Atlanta names new UK sales manager

VAR Atlanta Technology has announced the appointment of Jim Everett to its London-based team.

Prior to joining the server and storage virtualisation specialist, Everett was EMEA sales director for Echoworx, where he was responsible for maintaining direct relationships with partners Symantec.cloud and BT Global Services, in addition to managing corporate customers across a range of industry sectors. Everett also spent five years with managed voice and data specialists, Evoxus, which was later acquired by InTechnology, where he was responsible for driving new business across the southern UK region.

Everett replaces John Woolley, who moved to FalconStor, where he is now director of business development.

Says Simon Kelson, managing director, Atlanta Technology: “I would like to extend a very warm welcome to Jim Everett who has joined the team as UK sales manager. He will be responsible for helping us increase revenues over the remainder of our financial year, where we have targets in place to exceed last year’s record turnover. This will be achieved by reviewing our value proposition, identifying new sales opportunities and by working with the sales team to support existing clients’ ongoing needs.”

Adds Jim Everett: “It’s great to be on board here at Atlanta Technology. I am impressed with the team’s expertise and the way they work closely with client’s to fully understand their entire business – not just their IT needs. This big-picture view enables Atlanta to provide the most appropriate technology to support the future direction of each and every client. I look forward to helping the business expand its market reach and believe my previous experiences in the managed services field will enable me to make an impact quickly.”
